Evening /ck/, I come with a question. I'm out of gin, and was wondering you guys had an official tier type system like you do with whiskys. All I know is I love Plymouth and Hendricks.

Hendricks is alright, but doesn't have a lot of range. It is A+ in anything with cucumber no doubt.

My favorite is St George Terroir, absolutely amazing. Super complex, very clean, surprising balance.

Bombay Sapphire East is good for an everyday kinda gin.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 4 01:02:03 2013 No.4287781 >>4287740 Oh yeah and Leupold's is good too. Damrak is good, Nolet's Silver too. Oh and it's a close cousin of gin, but Bols brand Genever is great. They make a barrel aged version that is out of this world.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 4 01:06:03 2013 No.4287799 Hmm.... we actually do have an image for this. Unfortunately I only found our rum and whiskey tier pics in my folder.

Hendrick's is the best

Then Tanqueray, Then Bombay Sapphire, then Beefeater.

Never go lower than Seagrams. When I was drinking on the cheap I'd get their grape-flavored gin. Mixed with coke it tasted exactly like grape-soda. Cue drinking problem.

Anonymous Mon Mar 4 03:38:03 2013 No.4288087

I like Hendrick's, discovered it lately after years of enjoying Bombay Sapphire.
I find Hendrick's to be overwhelmed by the other drinks very fast though (I can't taste it anymore in the same volume of tonic I'd use with Bombay). I've yet to try it with some cucumber.
One big pet peeve with Hendricks though, the bottle neck design is retarded and it's nearly impossible to pour a glass without spilling some.
Next purchase will probably be Tanqueray 10. Is it better than Tanqueray, or shall I just stick with Tanqueray?

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 4 03:40:04 2013 No.4288091 Gin is just fir tree crammed into a bottle. Doesn't need a ranking.

I was so pissed when I offered some of my Bombay Sapphire to a bunch or friends last time (usually I just have Gordon's around at parties, not going to waste the goods stuff for people who can't tell the difference).
>mfw they compared it to turpentine (admitting the Bombay was just a smoother turpentine than Gordon's)

My fucking face. It's drinking liquor right now. Thinking about folks like you who say this shit. Wondering why.

My friend, this is EXACTLY how I served it to them.
They were all having beer at my place (house warming party so we were like 15) and saw me enjoying a chill G&T with a slice of lime (limes grow here, so I always use them instead of yellow lemon). They were curious and a friend asked for a G&T instead of another beer. Then they all asked for one, and all drank it but joked about the turpentine flavor. I gave them a whiff at the Gordon's bottle for comparison, but they remained partial to beer.
>when we eat out together I'm the only one to go for wine
>beer is at the center of every party they throw
>every time I throw a party I have at least the following liquors and ingredients:
- whisky (coke)
- Gin (martini, tonic, lime,)
- Vodka (martini, olives, tomato juice, condiments, orange and apple juices)
- local rhum agricole (cane syrup, lime, mint, soda water, coke, fruit juices)
- 2 to 3 kinds of beer
- rosé wine, dry white wine, sweet white wines for the ladees
- red wine (only decent bottles) in case some people feel like it
- various soft drinks

Surprisingly, we are often more people at my parties than my friend's

I can stand behind this statement.

Has anyone tried Death's Door (pic related)?

I picked up a bottle a few weeks ago and every time I try it I'm not sure if I love it or hate it.
